Hi and welcome James110317! I'm sorry that your asthma requires steriods as they can definitely bring weight challenges (and other side effects). Though breathing clearly is most important! Did you have the traditional, full two anastomoses DS or a SADI? Do you have a copy of your surgical report? Who is your surgeon? Have you contacted them about the low weight loss?

Welcome!!! Hopefully, once your body clears the steroids, your weight loss should pick up. Sorry you've had such a rough time. I can't imagine asthma plus that heat in Texas.

James110317 so far we know very little about you: the more details, the better info people can give you including posts/threads we can point you to.

This is not a super busy place, but there are some extremely smart* people here and I know they'd love to help. As a recent revision, there is very likely things you need to know.

*I'm not that smart so I try to make up for it in other ways
